Albion Park Race 2

Wolf Signs Trotters Discretionary Handicap

Prize Money: $9,120

DARCYS FIREBALL (2) is in a purple patch of form with back-to-back wins here, scoring easily over this distance before dropping in trip getting home by a head last week. Switches to a standing start but if he gets it right can certainly win again. KODA DA MODA (7) got within a head of DARCYS FIREBALL when runner-up last week. Won from a standing start at this circuit and distance last month so the return to those conditions should suit. BANFF (5) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1660m here a week ago. IZARRA (6) owns a decent record at this circuit and distance so can measure up with her A-game.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr6) over 1660m at this track, beaten 4.5 m by Darcys Fireball (1:58.80) in 3yo+ NR up to 75 on December 9 at $10. Before that beaten 30 metres, tenth at this track over 2138m No NR on November 21. Can play a role again.

Two back was well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Get Used To It at this track over 2138m in a G3 No NR on December 6 at $34. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind Darcys Fireball at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ NR up to 75 on December 9 at $3.20. Among the better chances.
